If people would prefer to contribute cash for the Atwood Center's Thanksgiving baskets (see second forwarded message), please FORWARD this message back to Mr. Jacob with a note saying the amount you plan to donate. [To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
Then mail your donation (made out to Michael Jacob) by Thanksgiving to: Michael Jacob, 410 Russell St, Madison, WI 53704.
Michael tells me he and his son plan to make a big grocery run tonight and will undoubtedly need to buy more groceries again tomorrow so please forward him your message by Friday or on Saturday at the latest.
Folks can also contribute directly to and/or drop off food at Atwood Community Center, 2425 Atwood Ave, 53704. <www.atwoodcc.org> Any left over donations (not turkey) will be routed to the center to address other low-income family needs in the Madison area community.
